- In this video we are in beautiful Istanbul in Turkey.
You will be watching the dance of The Circassians, Çerkesler, an ethnic group living in Istanbul.
You will learn who the Circassian people are and why dance is so significant for their identity.
This is the first part of our stories that we will be telling from Istanbul. There will be more to come; so do not forget to subscribe.
For the Circassians dance is identical to the survival of their identity.
We are following a group of young Circassians while they are telling the elements of their culture.
First we watched their practice session in the Yıldız Technical University and then they organized a “wedding”, düğün in Turkish, for us in the Üsküdar district of İstanbul.
Then they also took us to a social gathering of the Circassians at another part of Istanbul.
Düğün actually means wedding in Turkish; but for the Circassians it means celebration. They name the social gatherings where they dance as wedding, düğün.
They always dance to live music which makes the experience much more incredible.
The Circassians were exiled to Anatolia during the Ottoman era in the 19th century. Actually it is a sad story.
First we’ll listen to Akanda Taştekin. She’ll tell us who the Circassians are and how they came to Turkey.
Then Akanda and her friends will tell more about the Circassian culture, music and dance.

Adiga wey wey
I just recently discovered Circassian dancing on CZcams and I find it mesmerizing. This video was interesting to learn about Circassian roots and history.
❤ The home of the most beautiful people in the world, is everywhere.
😍❤
circassians are beautiful people . and their music and dancing is very nice too . much love to you from a kurdish friend :)
thank you very much for your comment! :) yes, it is true, they are really lovely people!
What a nice culture...variety is the spice of life and Circassians are one of my favorite spices!
Respect. Rules. Learning. That is exactly what strengthens the spirit. We need to know control comes with options and not the opposite. That is what Circassians are dealing with right now.
Love Circassian music and dancing. Been a fan for many years. Thanks to CZcams, I have indulged in a lot of clips from the around the world where the different types of dances are performed. The dances are majestic, graceful and captivating.
This video was informative. Thanks for the upload.
Love from Somalia.
Thank you very much for watching us! Love from Turkey!
respect from Armenian.
И вам мира и уважение от черкесов 🙌
Thank you for the enlightening and entertaining content. One of my grandmothers is apparently of Circassian ancestry. I wish I could learn this dance with my wife--very cool!
Thank you very much for watching my channel, I am so happy that you liked the video 🤗
Belíssimo!
Saudações do Brasil 🇧🇷

Fantastic! It's a beautiful dance and culture x
❤️
Adyghe 💚 Masha Allah It’s so beautiful to see other young people enjoying their culture.
Neatly done.
A wee bit of correction for the beginning: While some of the dances' character is associated with "soaring eagles", this is not the case for the most as each has its own; some are associated with the galloping of horses or the sun, et cetera. While these dances are used as a form of affection between young Circassians in the present day, they also had a religious significance in Circassian paganism - some used literally for worship. While the religious meaning has been lost to history by the majority of Circassian society, there are still small pockets of communities who do remember and practise the pagan rituals.
thank you very much for your comment! you are definitely right, we also want to dig into that aspect of the dances more; how they include some elements from pagan times and how the religious rituals are reflected upon dance. This is a great contribution that you've stated, thanks!

This is wonderful information, thank you. I have been fascinated with the beauty of the Circassian dancing and the beauty of the Circassian people for quite some time now. I noticed in the video you do not mention "lezginka." How is this related to the Circassian culture, if in any way. To me it looks like lezginka is another name for Circassian dance. Thant you, again.
Thank you very much 🎈
Lezginka isnt cherkes dance, cherkes dance laperise(shesen)

Can someone explain what the stick with the feathers on it means.
5:51 that's what hatiyagos hold
This video is 95% talk and 5% dance/music.
Giyim tarzlarını anlatmamışsınız, dans edenler geleneksel giyinseydi mükemmel olurdu
Selamlar, gençleri günlük pratikleri içinde dans ederken çektik; sürekli dans ediyorlar ve gösteriler dışında kendi kıyafetleri içinde dans ediyorlar. O işin biraz daha sahne tarafı, iyi günler.
Göç mü şaka mı bu dalga mı geciyorsunuz?!
Isn't this dance form from Georgia and Chechen and tartar too?
Ты моему народу впору,
Ты сердцу горскому близка.
Ты принесла свободу в горы
На красных крыльях башлыка.
Не зря джигит тобой гордится,
Черкеска белая, как снег,
Когда он, легкий, словно птица,
На скачках обгоняет всех.
Ты учишь мужеству джигита,
Добру и легкости орла.
…И хоть по мне черкеска сшита,
Всему Кавказу подошла
(И.Машбаш)
يا جماعة شنو اسم هالرقصة ؟
رقصة النسورر…… البنات يقلدونالبطة أو الموزة …… رجل يقلد النسر الاعلىوالأقوى في الجو ……… لا أعرف شيء عنهم وإنما ترجم فقط✌🏾 🇮🇶
رجل = 🦅
امرأة = 🦢
Man = 🦅
Woman = 🦢
is circassian same with turkish?
this is a genuine question, not trolling
We are not the same. I am a circassian or adyghe as we call ourselves. We are originally from the north caucasus. Our mother tongue and culture differs from turkish people. Due to russia occupying the caucasus and the following genocide of the circassians (and other north caucasian ethnicities) in the 19th century, many circassians had to leave their home country for the ottoman empire. That's why we circassians live in different countries (e. Albania, syria, israel, jordan,.libya, egypt, romania, iraq etc.)which were all part of the ottoman empire back than. But most of us live in Turkey. Only a little minority is living in Circassia. That's why we became a diaspora nation.
Shamil At-Turki 'Tatar'
Who is the “we” ?
Shamil At-Turki
It was a genuine question ! You mistook it for “sarcasm”. Now that I have your attention, who are the “Kurds” ? They claim territory in Iran, Iraq, Syria and the largest group is Turkey. In fact, 20% of the Turkish population are ethnically Kurds. Is Turkey prepared to give them vast lands they claim to be ethnicity theirs and become a sovereign nation ? So far, Turkey has done nothing to address the issue, anytime they protest, Turkey brutally suppress them even outside of recognized international borders such as Iraq and Syria under the pretext of protecting the “Turkmen” minority yet a clear violation of international aggression. It would be interesting to explain this as you have nearly 20 million citizens claim to be of the Kurdish ethnicity. They want to build a new nation of Kurdistan !
@Shamil At-Turki no, there are circassians in Kosovo too.
@Shamil At-Turki You are wrong, there are some Circassians in Albania & in Romania
The Circassians are the real indigenous people of the Caucasus & they rule Anatolia 2 times thousands of years ago
The Turks are from Asia migrated about 1200 years ago to Anatolia
Kartal lezgilere söylenilen bir ifade. Kafkas Albanyasında yaşamış olan lezgiler o zamanlar leq olarak tanınıyordu. Ve günümüzde bu kelime lek olarak lezgiler tarafından işleniyor. Manası da kartal demek.
Inguslar da kendileri icin kartal ifadesini kullanir. Bir cok milletin sembol olarak kullandigi bir hayvan kartal.
@@Seca95 Ona kalsa ermeniler de bunu kullanıyor, ama görüyoruz onları da))
birtane iron leppu getirrin me kafkasyada viadi kafkasyadan da barfi öğrenin.
Move like Mick Jagger? Lol... Mick tried to move like James Brown 🟤 but couldn't come close.
He's not the best mover or dancer, he tried....🤓
